I love NY living--- including all the opportunities, and
idiosyncratic people, perspectives, and things that come along with
it. I've been here for a bit now and also think about a move
outside of here--thinking it would have to be to another country
and/or close to mountains or the ocean.

I find some of the best moments have happened when I've been open
to spontaneous endeavors. I Have traveled lots on my own and love
that freedom. Now, I'm feeling like I would love to share those
experiences with a partner in crime.

Secret rebel... I'm compassionate and social. I love meeting
interesting people and hearing new perspectives.

Finishing a master's degree and creating and implementing a
wellness program that integrates eastern and western modalities.
Teaching yoga, tutoring kids, and hopefully helping clients I work
with (in the wellness program) to grow.

In my spare time, spending as much time as possible in the summer
sun. Riding my bike everywhere, seeing music, laying in the grass,
being playful, getting lots of beach time, running, mastering ping
pong and tacos, collaborating, thinking, discussing, spending time
with friends and a glass of wine and/or pint of beer.

Being continuously fascinated about the similarities in ancient
spritiual practices and psychology and how well they function to
evolve people.

Food-love all types of things when I am eating out. At home-fresh

ipa!
